Affiliate terms
These terms govern participation in the Tradelyst affiliate program. The Terms of service apply in addition; for the affiliate relationship itself, these terms take precedence. The provider is Core Structure Trading - Thomas Seifert, Silberweidenweg 10, 10365 Berlin, Germany ("we"). The program overview is on the affiliate page.
1. Joining
Anyone with a Tradelyst account can join. You start participation yourself under
"Affiliate" inside the app — no application form, no exclusivity, no minimum audience.
You get an eight-character code and a personal link of the form
tradelyst.ai/r/YOURCODE. There is no entitlement to participate; we may
decline or end participation for good cause (section 8).
2. How referrals are attributed
Attribution is cookieless: your code travels in the link to the signup page. A new account is credited to you when it is created from that visit. If the person comes back later through another channel without your link, the signup is not attributed — and it cannot be attributed after the fact.
The following are never attributed:
- signups through your own link, and signups by people in your household,
- accounts that already existed at the time of the click,
- signups from automated traffic, purchased traffic, or click manipulation.
3. Commission
The commission is 20 % of the net subscription price of every payment a referred account actually makes to us. Net means: excluding VAT and after any discount granted. It is earned on every payment, recurring, and is not time-limited — it runs for as long as the referred account keeps paying. A one-time lifetime purchase earns the commission once, on that payment.
No commission is earned on:
- free plans, trial periods, and complimentary access we grant,
- VAT and other pass-through items,
- signups that are not attributed under section 2.
4. Reversals
If a payment is refunded, withdrawn, or reversed (chargeback or SEPA return), or if it is ultimately never received, the commission on it is cancelled. Amounts already credited are offset against your next balance; if the balance does not cover it, the negative balance carries into the following statement.
5. Statements and payout
We settle per calendar quarter. After the quarter ends we compile the commissions earned and reversed in that quarter and send the statement to your account's email address. Payout follows 30 days after the end of the quarter, provided your balance is at least €100 at that point. Below that, the balance carries into the next quarter and is paid with the first payout that clears the threshold.
Payout is by SEPA bank transfer to an account you nominate. We settle by self-billing (§ 14 (2) sentence 2 of the German VAT Act); you may object to a self-billed invoice. If you are VAT-registered, tell us before the first payout — VAT is then shown and paid on top. Taxes on your earnings, and registering a trade or business if one is required where you live, are your responsibility.
6. What is not allowed
- unsolicited promotion (spam) by email, direct message, comment, or forum post,
- paid search ads on the "Tradelyst" brand or on misspellings of it,
- domains, accounts, or profiles that suggest they belong to us,
- promises of returns, invented results, or claims that go beyond what Tradelyst actually does,
- coupon, cashback, or forced-redirect sites without prior agreement,
- omitting the advertising disclosure: a recommendation you earn a commission on must be disclosed as advertising.
Tradelyst is a trading journal, not investment advice. Do not promote it with statements that hold out trading success; the risk disclosures apply to your promotion too.
7. Data about the people you refer
Your dashboard shows aggregate numbers only: clicks, signups, and paying accounts. We do not release names, email addresses, or trading data of the people you referred — not on request either. For the processing of your own data, see the privacy policy.
8. Term, termination, and changes
Either side may end participation at any time, without notice. Commissions earned up to that point are paid with the next regular statement; the €100 threshold does not apply to that final settlement. If section 2 or section 6 is breached, we may end participation immediately and cancel the commissions from the referrals concerned.
Changes to these terms — including the commission rate — are announced by email at least 30 days in advance and apply to payments from the effective date onward. If you object, your participation ends on the effective date and the commissions earned until then are settled.
9. Relationship of the parties
Participation creates no employment, commercial-agency, or partnership relationship, and no authority to make statements on our behalf. You act independently and on your own account.
10. Governing law
German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If you are a consumer, the mandatory consumer-protection provisions of your country of residence remain unaffected. The place of jurisdiction for merchants is Berlin.
